PerplexityPerplexity has announced Personal Computer, a new always-on computing setup that combines local Mac hardware with Perplexity’s secure servers. The product is designed to stay running continuously, giving users remote access to a system that works across files, apps, and active sessions. Perplexity has also opened an initial waitlist for the program.
Key details
- Personal Computer runs on a continuously active Mac mini.
- It is positioned as a local and secure system tied to a user’s own apps, files, and sessions.
- Users can control it remotely from any device, from any location.
- The setup connects a Mac desktop computer to local applications and Perplexity’s secure infrastructure.
- Perplexity says the initial cohort will receive support and resources as part of the rollout.
- Access is not widely available yet; interested users can join the waitlist starting now.
For small business owners and builders, this signals a possible new way to run AI-assisted workflows on dedicated local hardware while keeping access flexible across devices. It may be especially relevant for teams that want persistent, remote access to business tools and files without relying entirely on cloud-only environments.
